To determine if 7326 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7326.
If the factors of 7326 are only 7326 and 1, then we know that 7326 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7326 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7326 is only divisible by 1 and 7326, then it is a prime number, and if 7326 is divisible by more than 7326 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7326 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 37, 66, 74, 99, 111, 198, 222, 333, 407, 666, 814, 1221, 2442, 3663, 7326
Therefore, since 7326 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7326 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
